I post my code to GitHub so when I’m eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I’m hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.

git commit -m “Added a new string to X class.”

I’m not a professional dev. So I don’t care what anyone else thinks, it’s not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.

Colour_me_triggered ,

Yeah

MeetInPotatoes ,

User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

PretentiousDouche ,

The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it’s easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.

MeetInPotatoes ,

Amen! There’s plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don’t miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it’s not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy “I can’t believe it’s not Reddit” and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

GodIsNull ,

I don´t post code to github because it’s a microsoft company.

codeberg, self-hosted gitlab, gitea/forgejo, sourceforge

blackbrook ,

Didn’t sourceforge go to shit some years back with ads, embedding bloatware into downloads, and I don’t remember what else? Did it get better again?

NatoBoram ,

It did, but the interface is still dogshit for new users and it’s impossible to know how to access a project’s page or its download page. When I started using GitHub, I didn’t even realize that SourceForge was a git hub for a fucking while, yet I was still downloading stuff from there.

akariii ,

i didnt realize that but you can ignore that one

Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.

traches ,

I post my terrible code to github so I can sabotage copilot

floofloof ,

Get copilot to generate bad code in quantity, then upload that to GitHub so it slowly cannibalizes itself.

ox0r ,
@ox0r@jlai.lu avatar

I only post upload badly written reverse shells so that copilot just turns all code in a backdoor, take that NSA!

kamen ,

Imagine Copilot using it to intentionally showcase terrible code.

azvasKvklenko ,

Most companies are both

They are probably scraping it to train AI anyway. Not doing that for free.

Maybe we should all host our shitty code on github and make the ai psychotic!

dandroid ,

Oh don’t worry. My shitty code is on GitHub.

lord_ryvan ,

And your amazing code is on a self-hosted Gitea? =D

dandroid ,

Uhhhh yeah… Amazing code…

uyuu ,

I got one star on my repo so i immediately privated it

pythonoob ,

Shit that’s brutal

me when i accidently star my own repo

roi ,

I post to GitHub because I am GitHub

forgotmylastusername ,

I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.

scottmeme ,

I don’t post my code to GitHub because I use GitLab. We are not the same

TechieDamien ,

I don’t post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.

rmuk , (edited )

I don’t post to Gitea because I scrawl my code onto a piece of leather made of human flesh and venture down to the shore on a stormy night to hurl it into a raging sea as I shriek insults at God in a language known only to madmen. We are not the same.

dmrzl ,

Oh, you are the guy from the neighboring beach. We should consider synchronizing our sacrifice.

When are you guys doing it? For me, it’s usually every other Saturday evening.

narc0tic_bird ,

Many people here seem to have very strong opinions about GitHub :D

vegai ,

I post company proprietary code to github by accident, we’re not the same.

dandroid ,

Someone did that at the company I used to work for. IIRC, no one noticed for months.
